Meltdown

Submission to the PICO-8 track of the UW GDC's W25 game jam with the theme 'cool down'.

A violent creature demands an ice-cold pool to soak in. Bring it ice cubes to keep the pool cold. When the pool gets too hot, the violent creature becomes angry and lashes out. Aim for an ice cube high score before you get killed by the angry creature for not maintaining its preferred temperature!

To play:

1. download the attached .p8 file
2. go to pico-8-edu.com in the browser of your choice
3. drag the file into pico-8 edu

Meltdown was created by Joey, Alex, and Mar; with spriting by Alex and music by Mar. 

Special thanks to the SpaceCat pico-8 tutorials - they were genuinely what made this project possible. We used a chunk of code from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=44686 by lexaloffle forum user shy to get us started on bullets, though I don't know if it's recognizable anymore.
